Address Correction Requested 'Perils of Absolutism' Editor: Having written for an actual copy of Arthur Schlesinger's speech at the inauguration of the new president ("The Perils of Absolutism," BAM, May 1989), I now have these comments: This speech is an astonishing attack on religion in general, a large entity which Mr. Schlesinger equates with fa- natical "absolutism." He includes com- munism and totalitarianism (secular re- ligions) and sets out to show how bad "religion" is by naming its worst horrors: burning at the stake, medieval torture. Popish hierarchies, southern slave-hold- ing states, and Tammy Bakker. He never mentions St. Francis and the Franciscan movement, the Knights Hospitaler, nor successive hospitals founded from Anchorage to Angola by nuns. Martin Luther revolted ngainst hierarchy in favor of "the priesthood of all believers." Congregationalism intro- duced the vote of the congregation - one person, one vote. The churches' female abohtionist societies changed the world view of slavery. For a century before the Peace Corps, medical missionaries spent their whole lives among the underdevel- oped and diseased. Does Mr. Schlesinger know that American Protestantism is a branch of "religion"? That American Protestants started all the first U.S. colleges, includ- ing the black colleges in the South? That Brown University was launched from the Baptist Meeting House? That for 200 years Brown was led by ordained minis- ters? It was according to the Christian ethic of "loving your neighbor" that Brown was eventually opened to all, even to atheists. Obviously, Mr. Schlesinger is not a church historian - though he's happy to admit that he is a member of the intel- lectual elite. If so, when he quotes Rein- hold Niebuhr to support his attack on religion, shouldn't he acknowledge the fact that Professor Niebuhr was a Lutheran pastor? Or that this pastor was among the first to press an isolationist Congress for war against Hitler - be- cause of the s))( of the Holocaust? Mr. Schlesinger's frothing against al- leged "religion" (fanatical absolutism) makes one wonder if he has no abso- lutes himself. What about freedom of speech for professors? Child abuse? Racism? How in the world did Mr. Schlesinger grab the limelight from Roger Williams? How could those in charge of Brown so spit on its Protestant roots? I fear that power now resides with the Philistines, destroyers of the Brown that for 200 years proclaimed the existence of God, the goodness of God, the love of God for us all. Walter N. ]ackson '39 Coral Gables, Fla. Troubling ambiguities' Editor. While I wholly applaud all ef- forts to publicize the merits of taking a leave of absence from Brown, primarily because I enjoyed a valuable experience, a few potentially troubling ambiguities should be clarified concerning the arti- cle "The Door is Always Open" (BAM, March). Though 1 fondly recall many happy memories of the time 1 spent traveling in Spain and working at a ski- resort restaurant in Park City, Utah, last year, the most significant lessons I learned in my time off proved an out- growth of the harshest periods. A shal- low pocket on more than one occasion mandated homeless nights spent endur- ing the European winter chill on the outskirts of town, or resulted in lying miserably in the early morning hours on 2 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 nffiSMAPf QFIWNGSIO (OME CTS Extender" Get ready to hit shots you never imagined possible.

However, one might infer from the arti- cle that the lessons I carry forth are somewhat more superficial. From the presentation one might infer that I found the only "real" Span- iards were those of the "proletariat" class. I did not. Though the working classes comprise an integral part of Spanish culture, I do by no means in- tend to portray a homogeneous society. On the contrary, I discovered a diverse socio-economic composite, all parts of which greatly contribute to a uniquely wonderful country. Also, though the ar- ticle states that my co-workers at the Park City restaurant where I worked "were uneducated and had low incomes," actually they came from a variety of backgrounds, had experienced different levels of education, and entertained dis- parate ideological outlooks. My co- workers composed a rather sundry group, each offering a unique sense of vision and wisdom from which 1 learned much. Finally in alluding to the "under- privileged," 1 intended the evocation of neither the Spanish working classes nor Park City restaurant workers. By "un- derprivileged" I referred to the masses huddled in dejection, grouped for warmth yet hopelessly abandoned, suf- fering hunger and shame nightly on dark, rancid streets of not only Spain, but of the world. Gregoiy T. Gore '90 Campus Medical School support Editor: I was disappointed recently to hear that the state of Rhode Island is withdrawing its financial support to the Brown University Program in Medicine, amounting to a loss of more than $1 mil- lion annually to the only medical school in the state. The loss is not only finan- cial; rather, and perhaps more importantly, it will likely affect the quality of medical care in the area. As a native of Rhode Is- land who was educated at Brown, I have observed the growth of the medical school into a nationally respected pro- gram and a concomitant improvement in the level of medical care within the state. The state has derived much benefit from its relationship with Brown over the past fifteen to twenty years. Affilia- tion of Brown with local hospitals has attracted excellent physicians to the area, many of whom have also served in positions of community leadership. As Brown strives to create a comprehensive academic medical center, the people of Rhode Island have been assured state- of-the-art medical care without having to travel to nearby institutions in other states. Residents of the state have been given special consideration for admis- sion into the medical program. Training programs at local hospitals have attract- ed young physicians into the area, pro- viding a rich source of skilled practition- ers, most of whom would not have practiced in the state had they not trained there. Economic growth has been realized with the associated devel- opment of medical research, partly from the influx of biotechnology. With the state's withdrawal of sup- port to Brown's medical school, all of this is in jeopardy, and certainly the quality of medical care in the state will suffer. 1 urge the people of the state to exert pressure on their legislators to con- tinue support of this relationship which is vital to the maintenance of quality medical care, educational opportunities, and economic growth in Rhode Island. ]ames A. Arrighi '84, '87 M.D. Bethesda, Md. 'Take Five' Editor: Glad to hear (or actually to read) that the February 18, 1990, concert at Carnegie Hall was joyfully received, but nevertheless it should be pointed out that "Brubeck's famous melody, 'Take Five'," is in fact Paul Desmond's famous melody.

Who came to Brown's annual party: 1,430 graduating seniors 280 graduate-degree recipients (out of a total of 400 master's degrees and Pli.D.'s awarded) Eighty M.D. recipients 2,500 alumni and their spouses and guests, includ- ing .. . . . . 215 members of the class of 1940, a record turnout for a fiftieth reunion class; a first-time reunion attendee from the class of 1945 who observed of his dormitory accommodations: "It's like camping, with walls"; 320 members of the twenty-fifth year class of 1965, whose reunion gift to Brown totaled $1.5 million; and nearly 300 members of the class of 1989, back for their first reunion Jane Fonda (mother of Vanessa Vadim '90) and Ted Turner '60 Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach (stepfather and mother of Francesca Gregorini '90) Ethel Kennedy, mother of Douglas '90, and assorted members of the clan Carter Brown, scion of the University's namesake dynasty, and his two children - the first of his fami- ly to attend Commencement since his father. Fel- low John Nicholas Brown, died in 1979 Who didn't come: S, "oviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. For months, the rumors had flown. "Brown University may have scored the coup of the year when it comes to snagging a prominent graduation speak- er," enthused the Washington Post in March, citing an unnamed State Department official as its source. The nation's news hounds leapt into action. Television networks reserved blocks of hotel rooms at the Providence Marriott. A local tuxedo-store manager called the special events office to ascertain whether they should order more formal attire than usual for Commencement rentals, given the emi- nence of the rumored visitor. 14 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 It was great weather for: jitterbugging al fresco fat Campus Dance, above), star-watching (shades failed to disguise Ted Turner '60 and Jane Fonda on the Green, Monday), and catching up with old classmates (above right, a Third-World All-Alumni cookout at Rochambeau House). "No comments" resounded from University Hall to the Soviet embassy. Then, early in April, President George Bush off-handedly told Pnwi- dence ]ournal-Bxilktui government editor M. Charles Bakst '66 that Brown had invited both him and Gorbachev to speak and receive honorary degrees; the Gorby rumors gained new life. By early May, the headlines read, "Gorbachev visit to R.I. 'won't happen'," and this time cited an anonymous "congressional source close to the mat- ter." Finally, on May 22, Brown ended its silence by releasing "A Clarification." The news release relat- ed that last fall. President Gorbachev had accepted the Board of Fellows' invitation to receive an hon- orary degree. Over a period of eight months, the University and the Soviet embassy had been work- ing with Moscow to set a date for the presentation at Brown. The University had hoped that the sum- mit conference between Presidents Bush and Gor- bachev would provide an opportunity for such a ceremony. "It now appears Mr. Gorbachev's sched- ule will not allow the ceremony to take place in Providence during his current visit to the United States." And there was no chance, as had been rumored, that a Brown doctorate would be presented to Gor- bachev in Washington. "Brown's honorary degrees are presented only in person and on campus," ob- served the news release, "and the University has never done otherwise." Thus died one of the most interesting and bed- lam-generating rumors ever to resound on College Hill. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 15 The people speak S, 'everal days after Commencement, readers of Brown's mainframe computer "bulletin board" en- joyed discussions and re\iews of the weekend's ac- tivities, posted by staff and students. Kirsten Robinson '87, a user services specialist for Computing and Information Services, compiled a list of "helpful hints" based on her experiences. For those attending the Campus Dance, a few of her recommendations were: ■ Don't plan on a warm evening when you shop for that new dress. Wear something that at least has sleeves and a back. ■ Premix tirinks at home and bring them in a plastic container. Do not drink beer at Campus Dance unless you have access to a private bath - room. ■ Review your yearbook so you'll remember names of people you haven't seen in years. ■ Go - even if it's raining. Benjamin Fan '92 made the rounds of the de- partmental commencement exercises following the main ceremonies on the Green - not to watch the bestowing of sheepskins, but to sample the food at the catered receptions. His reviews, posted to the electronic bulletin board's food conference, includ- ed high praise for computer science ("great vari- ety") and geology, the "winner this year" for its table laden with "big sandwiches, lots of them. The geo spread is recommended for hungry people," Fan concluded. The following weekend. Fan attended a neigh- boring commencement reception on College Hill and advised bulletin-board readers: "The quality of RISD's food was down from last year." Next year's caterers, be advised: there's a critic on the prowl. Ih / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 Tile class of 1940 turned out for the procession in force: Gladys Chernack Kapstein and Bob Engles {above) were two of the class marshals, and Brooke Hindle (left) was chosen from the fiftieth-reunion class to represent the alumni, leading the parade as chief marshal. A noble nickname for a new generation F or the second year in a row. President Gregori- an added to the traditional order of events on the Green a short personal address to the graduates. This year, he spoke of ethics, commitments, and convictions. He reminded the graduates that "suc- cess takes many forms," including "coping with the failures, defeats, and tragedies of life." Gregorian concluded with a list of decade-by- decade quips - "arbitrary characterizations" - used to describe the sensibility of succeeding genera- tions in this century; "the conformist forties," "the unstable and revolutionary sixties," "the me gener- ation" of the seventies, and the "self-contented yuppies" of the eighties, to name several. The graduates sitting before him, Gregorian suggested, "will be known as the compassionate generation, the one that cares for social justice, the one that will dedicate itself to the unfinished agen- da of American democracy." The Compassionate Generation. Now Hint has a ring to it. Get the message? S, 'hirley Sugarman Wolpert '46 is one of a host of Brown staff members who watch over the events of Reunion Weekend. She spotted these two notes - scrawled in pencil on Post-It squares - stuck on a message board placed in the entryway of the Mad- dock Alumni Center for the convenience of visitors. First note: "To the guy in the class of '80 (I've forgotten your name - sorry) that 1 met skiing in Chamonix: Give a call if you are around." A wom- an's name and phone number followed. Second note: "Dear Nathan - Thanks for choos- ing Brown! Love - Mom."

Rothman, a molecular biologist who has been a member of the Brown faculty since 1961, dean of biology since 1984, and Frank L. Day Professor of Biology since 1987, was named provost by President Gregorian. Rothman suc- ceeds Maurice Glicksman, who resigned earlier this year to return to teaching and research. As provost, Rothman will be the University's chief academic officer with responsibility for academic budgets and staffing, except for the Program in Medi- cine; the University libraries; computing and information services; the registrar's office; special studies and summer programs; and a number of other activities.

"Frank is a man of enor- mous integrity, abihty, imagination, and loyalty," said President Gregorian. "His experience and his many years of service at Brown give me confidence that he will be a great pro- vost. He has my complete confidence and admiration." The president announced Rothman's appointment to the Corporation at its meet- ing on May 26. Born in Budapest in 1930, Rothman came to the U.S. and was naturalized at the age of fourteen. In 1948, at eighteen, he received his B.A. from the University of Chicago. He earned his master's in chemistry from Chicago (1951) and his Ph.D., also in chemistry, from Harvard (1955). He held postdoctoral fellow- ships at the University of Wisconsin and MIT before coming to Brown as assis- tant professor of biology in 1961. From 1976 to 1982, he was director of the graduate program in molecular and cell biology. As dean of biol- ogy, Rothman has been re- sponsible for the non-medi- cal activities and faculty in Brown's Division of Biology and Medicine. Rothman's research has focused on the biochemistry of cell differentiation in a single-cell organism, the slime mold known as Dic- tifostelium discoideum, and on gene expression in the bacterium £. coli. Currently he pursues research on the biology of aging in a nema- Birthday party for Don Hornig JTor Donald F. Hor- nig (center), former Brown president (1970-76) and chem- istry professor, it was an apt seventi- eth birthday party: in his honor, his col- leagues from the chemistry depart- ment, headed by Edward F. Greene (at right), brought together a group of dis- tinguished scientists and policy advi- sors for a one-day symposium in March. Among the topics discussed was the changing role of science policy, which, says Greene, was "invented" by William T. Golden (at left): in the for- ties. Golden convinced President Truman of the need for presidential science advisors, a post Hornig held under President Johnson from 1964-69. Before joining Brown's chemistry department in 1946, Hornig was a group leader at the Los Alamos Laboratory, where at the age of twen- ty-five he worked on the Manhattan Project. He left Brown in 1957 to be- come head of the chemistry depart- ment at Princeton, a position he held until the White House called. After leaving Brown in 1976, he joined the faculty at Harvard's Graduate School of Public Health, where he became the Alfred North Whitehead Professor of Chemistry in 1981. tode, a small parasitic worm. The new provost and his wife, Joan, a Ph.D. candidate in religious studies at Brown, live in Providence. They are the parents of four adult children, including Michael '75 and Maria '82. The Roth- mans share an interest in ar- chaeology and have spent many summers working on a dig in Israel. ■ Senior Vice President Frederick M. Bohen resigned in May to accept the position of executive vice president and chief operating officer of The Rockefeller Universi- ty in New York City. Bohen, who came to Brown in 1983, will assume his new job in September. Bohen has had responsi- bility for planning, organiz- ing, and directing the Uni- versity's budget and finan- cial-planning activities, physical facilities, resident services, and many business and administrative services. He came to Brown from the University of Minnesota, where he was vice president for finance and treasurer. Previously he had been as- sistant secretary for man- agement and budget in the Department of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare under President Jimmy Carter. "Fred has served this University superbly since his arrival," said President Gregorian, adding that he was "saddened" by Bohen's decision to leave. "His bril- liance and keen understand- ing of Brown's priorities and university financing in general have been instru- mental in keeping this insti- tution with its low endow- ment not only afloat, but also extraordinarily compet- itive with some of the wealthiest universities in the country." In his letter of resigna- tion, Bohen said, "For rea- sons that flow from the heart, this choice has been very painful for me." He praised Brown as "a good and nurturing university" and noted his "appreciation and admiration" for the two presidents he has served, Gregorian and Howard Swearer. At press time, no plan had been announced for identifying Bohen's succes- sor - A.D. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 19 Honorary degrees go to six, including Toni Morrison and C.

Despite widespread political pres- sure to do otherwise, he fought to stop the disease's spread by educating people about the disease. ". . .

Mary Douglas Leakey, doctor of science. A leader in the fields of archaeology and anthropology, Leakey explored the history of human origins and culture in East Africa, discovering keys to human evolution at Olduvai Gorge and at Lae- toli, where her excavations revealed three-million-year- old hominid footprints. "It is hard to imagiiu^ any- one loho has exerted a more positive influence on the study of human origins than you.

Everett Koop, and Richard Solomon. 20 / JUNE ♦ (U!.Y 1990 Koop diagnoses American medicine for the new M.D.'s One result of his years as surgeon general, C. Everett Koop told this year's class of new- ly minted doctors, is that people will stop him on the street; "Keep up the good work. Doc," they tell him. Or, "I know you! You're the Attorney General!" Waiting for flights, he said, "I often end up holding office hours in the airport waiting area. 'You're the one who finally made me stop smoking!' " people will announce. "Or, 'Say, I hate to bother you, but I've got this pain in my elbow. . .' " Occasionally, a fellow physician will catch Koop's attention: "I want to thank you for making me proud, once again, to be a doctor." It's a statement that leaves him with mixed feelings: personally gratified, but saddened that others' pride needs restoration. That our entire medical system is in need of restora- tion was the subject of Koop's address to the medi- cal school's class of 1990. In the next decade, he said. our "health-care system has to be changed - not just a little change here and a little change there." He charged that the system had satis- fied "its own uncontrolled needs at the expense of ev- ery other sector of Ameri- can society." He lamented the system's failure to treat some 12-15 percent of Americans. Prices have risen across the board, he said, "irrespective of the quality of care being deliv- ered or any other market- place control." But he warned the grad- uates against "quick-fix" so- lutions. "There is a growing infatuation with foreign na- tional health services, based more upon dissatisfaction with our system than upon understanding of another one. Most Americans do not realize that any national health service is based upon planned senreity. Experience the world over has shown that when government eco- nomic controls are applied to health, they prove - in time - to be detrimental. Eventually there is an ero- sion of quality, productivity, innovation, and creativity." "In the meantime," Koop said, "while we wait for na- tional or even state legisla- tive solutions, as physicians, as well as citizens, we need to do something for those Americans who, under our present system, are denied access to reasonable care. We can do our part by revi- talizing the practice of offer- ing free care to appropriate patients. In the early years of my practice, before Medi- caid, before Medicare. . . I found myself extraordinari- ly fortunate if I got paid for 60 percent of what I did. But I was happy in my practice; my patients appreciated what I did, and I certainly enjoyed what I did for them. I see no reason why certain free clinics could not operate under laws that forbid liti- gation. Giving, charity, has always been part of our call- ing. We ought to find ways to do it without penalty." New technology has sped diagnoses and prolonged lives, he said, but in "our scientific progress something America's healtb-care system has met "its own uncontrolled needs at the expense of every other sector of society, " former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop told Brown 's medical school graduates. may have been lost . . . some- thing very important to the continued strength of the medical profession: the rela- tional bond between physi- cian and patient. We need to restore the doctor-patient relationship, and with it, the doctor must reassume his or her position of respect for ethics, morality, and integri- ty" Early in his practice as a pediatric surgeon, Koop said, he learned to forge an alli- ance with the parents of his tiny patients. "We've sweat- ed out the hours together in recovery. We've been on the phone together with com- munity services and volun- tary agencies to see what kind of help will be out there when the family takes its baby home. "Has it been worth it? Yes, it has ... on many lev- els. For one thing, I've got- ten to know hundreds of courageous, generous, com- passionate families," who, he said, "helped me over- come pessimism, defeatism, frustration, and discourage- ment . . . feelings that are common among hard-work- ing physicians." An unforeseen dividend, he said, has been that in forty years of medical prac- tice, he was never sued. That "old relationship of trust" must be restored, he said; without it, "we have lost our way completely. It can be re- stored. But it will take com- mitment by people on both sides of the stethoscope." - C.B.H. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 21 Graubard rallies the educators at the graduate school ceremony At the Graduate Scbool's Commencement exercises, Dean Phillip Stiles (left) honored edumni Georg Rich '69 Ph.D., John McTague '65 Ph.D., and Yung-Chi "Tommy" Cheng '72 Ph.D. While the Rhode Is- land Philharmonic Brass Quintet played the tri- umphant march from Ver- di's Aidn, Brown's graduate degree recipients, robed and capped in brown, proceed- ed to their seats on Lincoln Field. A crowd of family and friends, armed with cam- eras, awaited the procession beneath a blue, cloudless sky. Those who could not find a place among the wooden chairs stood or sat on the grass, shaded by trees and cooled by a bay breeze. "Bliss was it in that dav-.n to be alive. But to be young was very heaven." Those lines, written by William Wordsworth, were the introductory words spo- ken by Professor Stephen Graubard of the Brown his- tory department, who deliv- ered the Commencement address for those receiving advanced degrees from Brown this year - "Teachers and Professors: Embattled Men and Women." Graubard said that Wordsworth's observation about the French Revolu- tion was particularly perti- nent to contemporary times. Nineteen-eighty-nine was one of the most eventful years in history since 1789, he said. Institutions and governments thought to be permanent began to change. "We have seen in the last year the evaporation of to- talitarianism. Marxism is to- day dead. The myth of Marxism will not soon be revived," he said. To the graduates who would follow teaching as a vocation he offered these words of advice. "None is as good a choice as the one you have made today to en- ter the teaching profession. Money is not a bad thing, but money is not a thing you are likely to enjoy as a teacher." Like the extraorcii- nary times we live in, teach- ing is a "world of extraordi- nary opportimity," he said. "But teaching is an em- battled profession. It is not sufficiently esteemed or ap- preciated," he said. At- tacked by critics from the right and from the left, the profession is "under con- stant surveillance." And while the American university system is "the best in the world, the ele- mentary and secondary school systems are not. And if they do not get better, the university system will not be the best in the world," Graubard declared. "You can do so much to make the schools of this country bet- ter" Remember, he said, that as teachers "you have the unique opportunity to shape young children," but remember, too, that "you are not surrogate parents. You cannot be a buddy to a twelve-year-old, but you can be a teacher, an advisor, and a counselor." Finally, he said, teaching is "a noble and glorious profession. It will teach you what children are and what adults are." To the graduates who v^all chose professions other than teaching, Graubard ad- vised, "You have a choice, too. Know yourself. Brown is a university that esteems its scholars and admires its teachers. Great researchers have invariably been great teachers .... What you have today is enormous hospitality. In this country, we have privileged all knowledge. "You are the guardians of the university. Defend it." In 1989, President Gre- gorian initiated the first Awards for Excellence in Teaching. This year's gradu- ate student recipients were Peter Athanas, engineering; Randall Bass, English; Su- san Fischman, comparative / JUNn ♦ JULY 1990 literature; Robert Hackey, political science; Matthew Jacobson, American civi- lization; and Scott Shum- way, biology and medicine. Graduate Alumni Cita- tions, conferred since the Graduate School's fiftieth anniversary in 1978, were this year given to three alumni in recognition of their distinguished contri- butions to society through scholarship and profession- al activity: Yung-Chi Cheng '72 Ph.D, Henry Bronson Pro- fessor of Pharmacology at Yale, is a biochemical virolo- gist v^fhose research has played a major role in iden- tifying the enzymology of the DNA viruses. His recent work with the HIV reverse transcriptase has contribut- ed to the understanding of some of the anti-AlDS agents. In 1988, he was awarded the Outstanding Investigator Award by the National Cancer Institute. John P. McTague '65 Ph.D. is vice president of re- search for Ford Motor Com- pany. He has made signifi- cant contributions to a wide range of fields within physi- cal chemistry, including hy- drodynamics, intermolecu- lar forces, dynamics of liquids, solid-state physics, non-linear optics, and bio- logical macromolecules. Georg Rich '69 Ph.D., director and head of the economic division of Swiss National Bank, has pub- lished more than thirty arti- cles on Eurocurrency mar- kets, Canadian monetary history, and Swiss monetary policy, and his research has been influential in interna- tional banking. His latest book is The Cross of Gold: Money and the Canadian Busi- ness Cycle, 1867-1913 (1988). A number of distinguished and much-loved faculty members retired this year, including (clockwise, from the left): David Laurent (music), Hugh Townley (visual arts), Phil Bray (physics), Bobert Jay (anthropology), George Erikson (medicine), John Imbrie (geological sciences), Joseph Loferski (engineering), Henry Kucera (cognitive and linguistic sciences), and Henry Majewski (French). Also newly emeritus, but not present were: Dick Goss (biology). Jack Hale (mathematics), Jacob Neusner (Judaic studies), Boris Rotman (medicine), Ivan Waldbauer (music), Peter Westervelt (physics), and Stanley Zimmering (biology). BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 23 Senior orations: From 'prizes' to poultry I he invocation by Act- JL ing University Chap- lain Rabbi Alan Flam set the tone for the two senior ora- tions to follow. "Help us," he said on behalf of more than 1,400 seniors wedged into the old wooden pews of the First Baptist Church in America, "to convert our convictions into conduct." Convictions were at the heart of the first address, given by Luis A. Lopez of Hartford, whose title was borrowed from the PBS tele- vision series tracing the U.S. civil-rights movement: "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize." Lopez, a native of Costa Rica who came to this country at the age of ten, completed a double concen- tration in business econom- ics and organizational be- havior, and was active in minority peer counseling, the Latin American Student Organization, and as a "big brother" in a Providence anti-drug program. As Lopez strode to the speaker's platform at the front of the meeting house, the room resounded with applause and joyous howls of "Loooooooou-eee!" Lopez quoted a phrase that young people of color hear often today: "Don't be a statistic." This, he said, means, "Give [yourself] a chance, for no one else will . . . Stay in school and be- come educated. "For only with knowl- edge and education," Lopez continued, ". . . will we be not only created equal, but living equally, having an equal say, and sharing equally [in society's] for- tunes and misfortunes." Much of his learning at Brown, he said, had been the result of living among people like and unlike him- self. "All of us here today have brought some educa- tion to Brown in specific forms of reality due to our different backgrounds, cul- tures, [and I individual ex- periences." For the aware- ness of the world he and his classmates had gained in their four years, Lopez said, "Thank you. Brown Univer- sity." Along with educational privilege, concluded Lopez, the class of 1990 also had in- herited a responsibility "to the youngsters living in America's inner cities. Their fates should not be drug dealing or dodging bullets, but to do as we have: to ob- tain an education and to un- derstand; tener opoiiuiiidndes eti sufi futuws coiio )iosotros las licmos tcjiido - to have op- portunities in their future as we have had them." As Lopez returned to his seat and the second speaker. Senior orators Luis Lopez and Jennifer Wilcha in The First Baptist Church in America, where they addressed their classmates at Commencement. Jennifer Wilcha, arose from hers, the two embraced. An ethics and political philoso- phy concentrator from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Wilcha was a women's peer counselor, a Sarah Doyle Women's Center staff mem- ber, and active in the wom- en's Political Coalition and the Rhode Island Rape Cri- sis Center. She recently wrote a book. College Stu- dents' Guide to Transferring Schools, which will be pub- lished by Avon Books in November. In her address, "Omi- nous Poultry," Wilcha waxed allegorical. The trep- 24 / JUNt ♦ JULY 1990 idation she and many of her classmates were feehng at exiting the Van Wickle Gates and entering "the real world," she suggested, was akin to her younger broth- er's fear of his dark room at age three. Christopher, she told the amused audience, believed that killer chickens lurked in his bedroom's dark corners. His tearful appearances in the living room long after bedtime finally prompted VVilcha pi're to seize a pillow from Christopher's bed and fearlessly swat each phan- tom chicken that the young boy pointed out to him. His terror assuaged, Christo- pher went happily to bed. Brown graduates, like Christopher with his pillow, are armed against the un- known bogeymen of the world beyond College Hill, Wilcha said. "Has this ivy- covered tower taught us anything practical?" she mused. "Yes. Because dur- ing these four or five years we have learned how to make decisions. . . . We've had the space to figure out who we were and what we wanted. That ability to de- cide and think independent- ly will help us face our nightmares. "We have every reason to be scared of the un- known," Wilcha concluded. "But we should not assume that these four years do not connect to [our] future. Even if ominous poultry are lurking outside the Van Wickle Gates . . . after four years of Brown, loe are ready - pillows in hand." The senior orators were chosen by a class vote from among a group of potential speakers nominated by the class and auditioned by a committee of students and faculty. - A.D. Notes on a Brown Commencement Venerable bell rings in the Baptist spire: now soft, now loud, now soft again. At the portal, I grasp the knob as breakers crash within my skull. A door - the keyhole. I am propelled through it. Shaking and screaming, I go through the keyhole. The organist is playing a steady, shouting hymn: "Confirm thy soul in self-amtrol" Ah, yes - that sophomore mess! (all who suffered giggle) I glance around at us - run my hands through these drying sands, to cull one aching grain: yearbook's flat, laminate reminder of what has been. We are in the ruins of a life. Young eyes, observe: this century on parade - I can understand the ancients, the fresh releases, not terribly the workaholics in between. Outside the meetinghouse, killer chickens* await us and the fence is down. / am trying to think like a businessperson.

An immense, converging pediment: A spire lost up in dense trees: A copper bell: piercing, shattering, earfhbound crashings to suggest something greater. Today most ignore this. This steeple (this ladder) pointing still towards heaven. Today who can see it? We floated through the ritual - the lovely applause, the gates flown by as four years and friends do Ever true. David E. Taylor '90 *from the senior oration by Jennifer Wilcha '90 And the winner is . . . Graduates honor three faculty I his year, the winners JL of the Barrett Hazel- tine Citations, given each year to two faculty members by the senior class, included none other than Barrett Hazeltine, the engineering professor and associate dean who was honored by so many graduating classes that in 1985 the annual award was named after him. Also honored by the class of 1990 was Meera Viswanathan, assistant pro- fessor of comparative litera- ture. The graduating M.D.'s awarded the Medical Stu- dent Citation to Assistant Professor of Medicine Rex Mahnensmith. A twelve-time winner of senior citations, Hazeltine was told, "Throughout the years you have accepted the challenge of instructing young adults and have maintained excellence in your field. . . . Your unique teaching style serves to trig- ger our curiosity and in- spires us to greater achieve- ment. . . ." Viswanathan teaches popular courses in Japanese Hterature. Seniors saluted her for sharing "a wealth of knowledge of both the sub- ject matter and of ourselves that is far less transient than cherry blossoms and even more beautiful." Medical students hon- ored Mahnensmith, who is director of nephrology, "in recognition of your dedica- tion to medical education and patient care. . . . We commend you as an out- standing physician and teacher." - C.B.H. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 25 The Forums: something to think about on a sunny spring day I his year's Commence- JL merit Forums had competition from a warm spring day. But the promise of insights into some big is- sues and some little issues brought the crowds indoors. Among what they heard were the following: From birth, said Professor of Psychology and Medical Science Lewis Lipsett, ba- bies display not only plea- sure, but annoyance. They cry; they pummel the world with tiny fists. It's effective, he said, and infants learn to use this instinct to advan- tage. A panel including Lip- sett and two colleagues - William Damon, chairman of the education department, and Toby Simon, director of health education - explored the roots and results of ado- lescent violence. Damon said that many young peo- ple are growing up in family relationships that fail to nur- ture empathy, and he sug- gested that mentor relation- ships might help fill that gap- Teens are the only group for which the death rate has risen since 1960, Simon said; 75 percent of those deaths are due to homicides and suicides. She noted that risk- taking is a natural part of adolescence, but that teens have a skewed sense of probability which leads them to think, "1 got away with it once; I can do it again." - C.B.H. "Only [the U.S.] and South Africa lack general access to health care," observed bio- medical ethicist Dan Brock, professor of philosophy, in a panel on "Rationing Health Care." He and other panel- ists pointed out that ration- ing is very much a part of the American medical sys- tem. "We ration now by abil- ity to pay," Brock said; insur- ers ration by refusing to pay for claims; the government rations by setting Medicaid eligibility so low that fewer than half of impoverished Americans qualify (to quali- fy in Alabama, a family of four must make less than $3,000 a year). Gerontologist Marsha Fretwell said that her older patients - the "frail old," as she put it - frequently ration their own care, choosing not to invest in high-cost, high- tech procedures that they might not survive. - C.B.H. In a forum on "Feminism Through the Decades," a group of woman panelists gave a cross-section of wom- en's experience in the twen- tieth century. "For three of four years, I was the only Negro in my class," said trustee emeritus Elizabeth Jackson Phillips '45, who went on to teach social work at Wayne State University. "It was hard at seventeen to be a symbol, to be the spook who sat by the door." Nancy L. Buc '65, an at- torney and Brown Fellow, described years of "crashing into walls," of "saying things and finding that they were not understood because they were heard through ears very differently genetically preconditioned . " Eileen Rudden '72, a vice president at Lotus Develop- ment Corporation, looked at Buc and Phillips, and then at the younger panelists, be- fore commenting on how literally she felt "in the mid- dle." "I have three kids and a big job," she said, her voice thickening with emotion, "And it is crazi/ out there. Feminism is the thing that keeps me going." Cindy Osman '82, '88 M.D. said that at Brown, ideological discussions of gender had pervaded her intellectual and personal quests. "Then I got to medi- cal school, and things got more pragmatic." A wom- en's group became a support group, a political network, a way of helping each other work the system. "I am ambivalent about the term 'feminism'," said Dawn Crossland '88, who was active in both the Third World Center and the Sarah Doyle Women's Center and now works for a New York City arts organization. In re- sponse to Crossland's re- marks, Nancy Buc laughed and quoted her own moth- er: "When I hear you say you're not feminists, I think, 'Just you wait; you'll see!'" -C.B.H. Those in the Brown commu- nity who don't know who Michael Kwiatkowski is had better check their pulse. "Mickey K.," as he has been affectionately nicknamed, has been preaching his own brand of enthusiasm since he was hired on January 5 to replace John Rosenberg as head football coach. All that was missing when he delivered his inspi- rational sermon in Salomon Hall were shouts of "Hallelu- jah" and "Amen" from the congregation. Kwiatkowski said his program stressed academics. citizenship and discipline, and football excellence - in that order. "We seek excel- lence in everything we do at Brown University, and often we achieve it. Why not strive for excellence in football? Why apologize for wanting to be excellent?" Months before the start of formal practice and the beginning of the season, Kwiatkowski said he felt player spirit had already been lifted. "They're buying into what we are selling," he said. "I've seen it in the weight room and I've seen it in the classroom." Brown's offense for 1990 will be based on the wing-T with a pro-passing style at- tack added. "It's not flashy, but I think we can win with it." As for defense: "We'll at- tack the football. Boy, are we going to the attack the foot- ball. And we're going to have fun," Kwiatkowski said. "Winning is easy. We lose sight of the process of winning. 'Just do it.' I hate that phrase. Winning is the result of a process. "I have already told my players my scenario for our opening game against Yale. We are down by four points with two minutes left in the game. At that point, my players are going to teach me how to lose; or I'm going to teach them how to win." -J.R. Lower Manning was crowd- ed. Thomas Mallon '73, au- thor of Stolen Words: Forays into the Origins and Ravages of Plagiarism (1989) and pro- fessor of English at Vassar, had come to talk about pla- giarism. Who would have imagined you could fill a 26 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 lecture hall for a discussion about such a subject? In his previous book, A Book of One's Ozcn: People ami Their Diaries, Mallon exposed the secret life of writers. Now, he was up to some- thing even more intriguing. Certainly, the crimes of Lau- rence Sterne do not compare with those of Ivan Boesky, but they are, in their way, just as fascinating. If it was "borrowing" or "literary gameplay," as in the case of Sterne, or some- thing more invidious - espe- cially after copyright laws were introduced, and "writ- er's work became their capi- tal" - plagiarism and the plagiarist continue to fasci- nate. and a new era may bring im- proved educational opportu- nities for that country's black residents. For every dollar spent by South Africa on education for white chil- dren, said forum moderator Newell Stultz, professor of political science, twenty-four cents is spent for the educa- tion of black children. Blacks make up 90 percent of the South African population. Four South Africans who have been studying and working at Brown spoke of their experiences. A native of the Transkei, Solomzi Makohliso '89, who is pur- suing a master's degree in biomedical engineering at Brown, recalled that short- ages of qualified black teach- Four South Africans described educational disparities in tbeir homeland during one of the Commencement forums. From the left, Richard Palmer, Thomsis Kwamongwe, Makhosazema Matshitse, and Solomzi Makohliso. Whether or not one agrees with George Orwell's rather cynical reasons for writing, involving egoism and revenge, the act of writ- ing, Mallon says, is "death- defying." And some would risk the literary anathema of plagiarism for such immor- tality. - /./?, Apartheid appears to be on its way out in South Africa, ers in elementary and high school, and uprisings and demonstrations during his first year at the University of Transkei, made learning dif- ficult. "1 just plowed through it," he said, noting that failure rates of black university students are very high, and in the sciences, "success rates [for blacks] are almost zero." Thomas Kwamongwe, a university administrator from the Mafikemy home- land, credited "determina- tion" with making him the most educated of his family of ten, even though he had had to start working - wash- ing cars - at the age of eight. Wife and mother Mak- hosazana Matshitse '90 M.A.T., who came to Brown on a special scholarship pro- gram, remembers fighting for a seat in the front of her elementary classroom in Soweto in order to see the small blackboard. The main obstacle to quality education in South Africa, she said, is "the lack of teachers for blacks. Ninety percent of the high school teachers aren't qualified to teach at that lev- el; many haven't completed high school themselves." Richard Palmer '90 A.M. illuminated the other side of the South African education- al experience - that of whites. A former Capetown high- school teacher whose Brown master's degree is in devel- opment studies. Palmer re- called a rigid, rigorous sys- tem of pre-college study in white schools. He regretted the diminished contact in his native land between whites and blacks. "One of the great sadnesses of apartheid is that it does work," he said. "As a liberal white South African, 1 found myself chasing after friendships [with blacks] that couldn't be relaxed and easy." He hopes to return to a country where, post-apar- theid, a single educational system will evolve, with the goal of making every South African literate. - A.D. The reunification of the two Germanys seems to be all but a fait accompli, yet not every East German is con- vinced of its desirability. In an afternoon forum featur- ing some of the nine East German students at Brown this past year, several voiced doubts. Annette Buhmann, a medical student, worried that East Germany's humane socialized medical system might be jeopardized. "I wouldn't want to treat peo- ple differently based on their salaries," she said. Gunnar Boehme, a twenty-three-year- old exchange student in En- glish, was afraid that "we're going to lose the solidarity of our people, our friendli- ness." He also felt that West Germany had "bought our revolution." All of the stu- dents were concerned that money, not social conscious- ness, would become the driving force in unified Ger- many. - A.D. "The Future of Race Rela- tions" was NAACP Execu- tive Director Benjamin Hooks's topic late in the afternoon, in Sayles Hall. Hooks, who received an honorary doctorate on Mon- day morning, drew on his experience as a black lawyer in the South and his hopes as a civil-rights leader to ad- monish his listeners not to be complacent. "It is the best of times, it is the worst of times," he quoted Dickens. While life in the U.S. is far better for minorities today than it was forty years ago. Hooks said, the war on discrimination is far from over. Increasing in- cidents of racial violence, coupled with a conservative Supreme Court that could erode affirmative-action gains of the past twenty-five years, lead Hooks to believe that "America is turning its back on the race problem." Hooks preached: "If you sit and let it happen (pause) by God it oii^ht to happen!" And: "These are hateful, dan- gerous times. Only i/oii can decide what part you will play in them." The audience gave him a standing ovation. -A.D.

While the rest of the class of 1990 headed for the dance floor, "The Liz and Lisa Band" was up on the Lin- coln Field stage, to the de- light of the many seniors who are avid fans of the group. Mitchell, the lead singer, and Loeb, singer and guitarist, who have been playing together as an acoustic duet and with vari- ous back-up bands since their freshman year, were still coming to terms with their immense popularity on the Brown campus when interviewed this spring. "The fans are great," Loeb says. "I remember, freshman and sophomore years we were never sure if people were going to come to our shows or not. We put invitations on people's Ipost office] boxes to insure a good draw. Even now, it's surprising to see a place packed for one of our shows." Lincoln Field was, to say the least, packed. Their popularity has ex- tended beyond the Brown campus. The duo recorded a predominantly acoustic tape last spring, and it has sold close to 1 ,000 copies. In addition, Mitchell and Loeb encouraged people to make copies for their friends, so it has been distributed widely. "Every one of my friends from home who is at anoth- er college has heard my tape in someone's room," Mitchell says. "Places I've never been, my music has been." Which is not to say that the two have confined their live concerts to the Brown campus. They have per- formed at the Living Room, a Providence club; in Har- vard Square; at Sarah Law- rence College; in Grand Central Station; and at the Speakeasy and the Bitter End, two clubs in New York City Loeb and Mitchell were freshman roommates. Each had pursued music in high school. Loeb, from Dallas, had been in a band and had performed acoustic guitar extensively; Mitchell, from Scarsdale, New York, had taken classical voice lessons and also had been in a band. The duo was hatched when the two decided to enter a For seniors Liz Mitchell and Lisa Loeb, photographed earlier this spring, Campus Dance was a working gig. "The Liz and Lisa Band" performed on Lincoln Field. talent show early in their freshman year. Although they never actually performed at the show, they liked playing together and dropped their other musical commitments to continue. "Liz and Lisa" have or- ganized several concerts with other Brown musicians to benefit Rhode Island Pro- ject AIDS. In late March, their "Safe Acoustic Sex Show" drew 250 people to Sayles Hall, and last fall they sold out a benefit con- cert on campus. As the duo's principal songwriter, Loeb compares writing a song to writing a paper. "You go back and forth, you leave it alone for a while, you keep working and reworking it," she says. Mitchell recalls that during their freshman year, Loeb would wake in the middle of the night with the inspi- ration for a song, and pro- ceed to compose most of it then and there. "1 think I unwittingly draw on personal experi- ence," Loeb says. "I'm just writing what comes out. At Brown, I've been encour- aged by other musicians to take myself seriously as a guitarist and as a song- writer." "What's been really great is the opportunity to work with other talented musicians," says Mitchell, "like Dan Seiden '89 [a gui- tarist who has recorded a popular album of his own], Gordon Chambers '90 |a singer and pianist with whom Liz and Lisa have collaborated on several AIDS benefits], and Dave McLary '90." After their Campus Dance swan song, the duo plan to move to New York where they hope to record an album with the support of a major record company. "We can't name any names, but a few companies are very interested," Loeb says. -E.S. Anonymous no more: The case of the missing byhne W. 'as it disappearing ink?

BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 29 Sports By James Reinbold Run like the wind It is contradictory, per- haps, to say that a sprint- er is best appreciated in slow motion. But the fastest runners complete the 100 and 200 meters too quickly for many to appreciate the wonder of their accomplish- ment. They bolt from the blocks at the sound of the starter's gun and all of a sudden, arms spread and head and chest thrust for- ward, they have broken the tape in the wink of an eye. In slow motion, the power- ful stride, the rippling leg muscles, and the strength, thrust, and drive that pro- pel the amazing speed are much more evident. To watch Brown's pre- mier women's sprinter, Teri Smith '91, run is pure joy. She is that wonderful com- bination of strength and beauty. Of power and fluid- ity. It would take far too many words to translate her grace on the track to words on paper. She has to be seen. Ever since her arrival at Brown, Smith has given herself and her school a lot to be happy about.

National Team. Earlier, she competed in the U.S. Olym- pic trials and represented Brown at the 1988 outdoor NCAA championships. As a freshman, she rewrote the Brown record books, posting eight new school records, indoor and outdoor, and was named Brown's Freshman Athlete of the Year. In her sopho- more year she became the first woman in Brown track and field history to earn Ail-American honors when she placed fifth in the 400 meters at the NCAA Divi- sion 1 Indoor Champion- ships in Indianapolis. At the 1990 Heptagonal Championship at Penn's Franklin Field in May, Brown, with 114 points, fin- ished second to Harvard in the women's competition. Leading the way for the Bears was co-captain Teri Smith. An All-American and Brown record holder in the 100 and 200 meters. Smith won both events at the Heps with times of 12.08 and 24.03, respectively. Her time in the 200 lowered the Heptagonal record, break- ing her own mark of 24.13 set at Brown stadium in 1988. She also anchored the 4x400 relay team, guiding a freshman trio - Susan Smith, Phillipa Ashby, and Kimani Paul-Emile - to a first-place finish and All-Ivy honors with a time of 3:43.78. Track coordinator Bob Rothenberg is looking for- ward to next year's compe- tition. The second-place fin- ish at this year's Heps was encouraging, and with Smith leading the team next season.

He disagrees vehemently with his country's handling of the Palestinian conflict and deplores the silence of Israeli intellectuals and American Jews BY ANNE DIFFILY Yehoshafat Harkabi is a small, grave mar\ with wise eyes and a gentle smile. The skin on his face is mottled, bespeaking a ifetime under the Middle Eastern sun in his native land of Israel. He speaks fondly of his family: his grandparents who came to Palestine from Russia and from Hungary for religious reasons, before the Zionist movement; his father, who was sent to school in Damascus to learn Arabic at age thirteen; his wife, two adult children, and two grandchildren in Israel. Harkabi's soft voice and unassuming manner don't prepare you for the vehemence of his views, nor for the fierceness with which he sometimes ex- presses them. You might be forewarned if you know that the scholar and former Israeli military intelligence chief describes himself as "a Machiavel- lian dove." By that he means that he is a staunch Is- raeli patriot who advocates making peace with the Palestinians not chiefly out of concern for their plight, but because he believes that the survival of Israel is at stake. "Uppermost in my mind," says Harkabi, a visiting professor of Judaic Studies at Brown last semester, "is how Israel can get the best deal." And his conclusion is, "If we follow a mod- erate policy, we will be much better off than if we follow an extreme policy." BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 33 "We can bathe in our self-righteousness, but it will lead nowhere except to calamity." Thus, Harkabi responded bitterly to a pinstripe- clad questioner in List Auditorium one night in March, after he had given a public talk about his views on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The audi- ence member objected to Harkabi's recommenda- tion that Israel negotiate with the PLO, and re- minded him of that organization's history of ter- rorism. "We can bathe in our self-righteousness," Harkabi retorted impatiently. "But, sir, it will lead nowhere except to calamity." The questioner sat down quickly, and the audience applauded long and hard. Harkabi was not alone, it seemed, in either his concern or his conclusions. The truth is, Yehoshafat Harkabi is worried nearly sick about the future of his country. In the spring of 1990, the intifada - the grassroots upris- ing by Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza that began in December 1987 - showed no signs of subsiding, and the current of world opin- ion was turning against the Israeli hard-liners - the right-wingers and the religious extremists who vow they will never bargain "land for peace." Given such a climate, Harkabi believes that this is Israel's fateful hour - a phrase that happens to be the En- glish title of his latest book, published here in 1988 and translated from his 1986 Hebrew work, Hachraot Goraliot (Fateful Decisions). In the book, and in other writings and public speeches, Harkabi hammers home his warning: if Israel does not begin negotia- tions with the PLO to establish an independent Palestine in the occupied territories, both Jews and Palestinians will face certain disaster. "I advocate passionately a Palestinian state, a partition," he says in a late-spring interview in the brick house on George Street that is home to Brown's Program in Judaic Studies. "Neither of these peoples will disappear. 1 don't think partition is a good solution; I think it's simply the only solu- tion." And it's a solution he believes American Jews must play a forceful part in achieving, by speaking out when they disagree with the Israeli government's policies rather than remaining silent in the name of Jewish solidarity. The sixty-eight-year-old Harkabi, who recently retired as Hexter Professor of International Rela- tions and Middle Eastern Studies at Hebrew Uni- versity, and director of the Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations, spent this spring at Brown. Previously he had held visiting appoint- ments at Princeton and the Brookings Institution, and after a stay at home in Jerusalem this summer and fall, he will return to Princeton for the spring 1991 semester "Retirement" from Hebrew University has not meant relaxation for Harkabi. At Brown last se- mester, he taught two courses: a large lecture class for undergraduates, "Introduction to the Arab- Israeli Conflict"; and an upper-level seminar, "The Bar Kokhba Rebellion Reexamined." The latter course focused on a rebellion by the Jews against the Romans during the years 132-135 C.E.; the Jews lost badly, and Harkabi uses the episode to illumi- nate contemporary concerns about how nations deal with national catastrophes. (He himself con- siders the rebellion to have been "a big mistake. Until then, Jews had been very important; but after sustaining maybe one million casualties, they be- came an object of history, rather than a subject. Zionism was an attempt by Jews to become the subject again.") Harkabi's dual background as a scholar and a high-ranking member of the Israeli intelligence apparatus has given him an unusually intense, comprehensive exposure to many facets of the Is- raeli-Palestinian conflict. Having learned to read and speak Arabic as a young man (he minored in Arabic literature in 1949 at Hebrew University, where his major was philosophy), Harkabi prides himself on his acquaintance with the Palestinian and Arab viewpoints on Israel, information he gleans from daily perusals of the Arab press, and by studying PLO documents in the original Arabic. After spending the 1950s as deputy and chief of the Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Branch, he ob- tained a master's degree in public administration from Harvard in 1960. In 1968, he received his Ph.D. from Hebrew University in Middle Eastern 34 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 If Israel does not begin negotiations with the PLO to establish an independent Palestine in the occupied territories, both Jews and Palestinians will face certain disaster studies and joined the university's faculty in inter- national relations. He has written numerous books and articles over the years on Arab strategy vis-a- vis Israel, the Palestinians, the lesson of the Bar Kokhba rebellion, and, most recently, Israel's Fateful Hour. Harkabi continues to teach in Israel as well as overseas. He is about to teach a course in Israel on "The History of World Order"; the subject, he says, is "of great importance. How do nations grapple with the problem of how to organize humanity? I start with the Greeks." The problem interests him, Harkabi explains, because he believes that "we are on the threshold of a new world order. We will see the decline of the institution of war. Nations' internal prob- lems will become dominant. But everybody will have to think, 'What kind of a world are we?' To think nationally, we will have to think inter- nationally. "We are at the dawn of a universal history. No coun- try today is a closed system; it is too intertwined with the rest of the world." The history of Palestine always has been in- tertwined, sometimes to a suffocating de- gree, with the Arab and Ottoman realms that have surrounded it, and present-day Israel re- mains locked in this deadly embrace. A large part of the country's differences with its Arab neighbors is due to the status of the Palestinian people who live in villages and refugee camps in the territories Israel has occupied since the 1967 war. The Palestine Liberation Organization, headed by Yasir Arafat, for decades had espoused the "lib- eration" of the entire Palestinian homeland, not just the territories, by the destruction of the Jewish state. During those years, Harkabi's research on Arab and Palestinian documents and activities shaped his harsh view of the Arab position. But as some Palestinian leaders, most notably Arafat, be- gan to moderate their statements about Israel, Harkabi's explication of the Palestinian stance also changed. "A conflict is a learning process," he points out, "and people change their positions. "I was impressed in 1985," he says, "when Arafat and [King] Hussein [of Jordan] called for an agreement with Israel based on peace for territo- ries." An even more dramatic Palestinian policy change occurred in 1988, when the Palestine Na- tional Council indicated that it accepted the exis- tence of Israel by endorsing a two-state solution to the conflict. "The Palestinian leadership has already ex- pressed its readiness to negotiate a two-state solu- tion," Harkabi says. "We have to respond and ac- knowledge that the Palestinians deserve a political expression in the form of statehood. But Israelis will resign themselves to the partition settlement only once they understand that the hope of keeping all the territories occupied in 1967 under Israeli domination has been a delusion." Such an epiphany will not be pleasant, Harkabi points out. "Resignation to a smaller Israel will be an excruciating experience," he says. "The country may fall into a deep collective depression. No won- der Israel's leaders are apprehensive of any settle- ment involving a compromise." Israel's current government led by hard-liner Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and his Likud coali- tion, Harkabi says, is interested not in a resolution of the Israel /Palestinian conflict, but a stalemate. "Shamir believes the conflict is a competition in at- trition," he explains. "He is hanging on to the hope that the Arabs will get tired and move out of the territories." Similarly, hard-liners within the PLO believe that any negotiated settlement would be a betrayal of their aims of "liberating" Palestine from the Jews, and they, too, view the conflict as a war of attrition. Each side hopes it will outlast the other's will and manpower. Harkabi notes that as a stalling tactic, Shamir has refused to negotiate with the PLO and has stat- ed he will talk only with moderate Palestinians. "I don't see the possibility of rejecting the PLO as the Palestinians' representative," Harkabi says. "Nine- ty-five percent of the Palestinians would vote for the PLO to represent them. Describing the PLO as terrorists is criminalizing all Palestinians who view the PLO as their leadership." Israelis who are opposed to a partition solution to the conflict often argue that a Palestinian state in the present occupied territories would be used as a launching-point for future hostile acts against Is- rael. While Harkabi admits that some Palestinians have such inclinations, he believes that they will be defeated not by Israel's refusal to negotiate, but rather by reaching an air-tight agreement. "Diplo- macy," he says, "is the art of thwarting vicious de- BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 35 36 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 signs by producing robust facts." Another argument against partition is that by withdrawing from its present borders, Israel will become so small at its midsection that it will be- come indefensible against Arab hostilities. "Strate- gically," Harkabi points out, "a country can defend bad borders. Undeniably, Israelis are beset by secu- rity worries. However, keeping the present borders and refusing to withdraw will constitute a continu- ous provocation to the Palestinians and the Arab world. In such circumstances, the probability of war is very high - reaching the level of certainty over the years." In addition, Harkabi notes that should Israel attempt to maintain its present borders, it will soon have an Arab majority among its inhabi- tants due to a higher birth rate among Palestinians. "A Jewish state in which Arabs constitute the ma- jority of the population is not viable," he says. His charge to Israel is a difficult one to sell at home, Harkabi acknowledges. "I'm at a disadvantage," he says; "calling for Israel to give up territory is not as appealing as saying, 'We are big,' " as Shamir has done. The politicians currently in power, he says, "play to the people's emotions. I try to reason." He resents a lack of activism and forthrightness on the part of Israel's intellectuals, most of whom share his views but are reluctant to voice them. In- tellectuals, he says in Ismcrf Fateful Hour, often feel they are required to re- main detached from cur- rent events in order to an- alyze them; they hesitate to meddle in politics. ". . . (M)any intellectuals," he writes, "have failed in their dutv to stand in the breach against de\elop- ments they firmly believe to be catastrophic. . . . The intelligentsia has [an] op- portunity to plav an im- pt)rtant role in Israel . . . [by influencing] the atti- tudes from which politics derive." Equally, Harkabi faults American Jewry, whose reticence he calls "a big disappointment to me." He feels most American Jews understand that Israel's policy of annexation and settlement in the occupied territories has been harmful to Israel's best inter- Harkabi resents a lack of activism and fortliriglitness on the part of Israel's intellectuals, most of whom share his views but are reluctant to voice them ests. But, out of fear that criticism might supply ammunition to Israel's enemies, many American Jews have remained silent, or have soft-pedaled their qualms. "If you consider Israel's policy to be wise, fine," Harkabi says. "But if you think it's harmful, spenk out\ Do not allow Israel to sink in the quagmire of its own policy. Do not be squeamish and hesitant to participate in debates. You must understand that if Israel dies, God forbid, it won't be because of a lack of money, but for lack of wisdom. American Jews could help to inject some of that needed wisdom into Israeli policies. Israel does not belong only to Israelis; it belongs to all Jewish people. You have the right and the duty to participate in a debate about its policies." Harkabi does not believe that he is a "lone wolf" in Israel; in fact, he estimates that half of all Israeli Jews understand that they will have to give up the West Bank and Gaza. Nevertheless, he feels, a change in Israel's policies will come only as a re- sult of a crisis that forces the issue. Then, perhaps, both sides may agree to negotiate, using U.N. Reso- lution 242 regarding Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories as a starting point. It won't be easy, but, Harkabi says, both sides may come to see that the existence of two small states, side by side, is far better than a continuing conflict that drains the energy and resources of Israelis and Palestinians. "I would like us to go back to the ideas of Ben- Gurion," Harkabi says - "to a Zionism of quality, not a Zionism of quantity." While recent events (the killing of seven Palestinians by a deranged Israeli Jew near Tel A\'iv; the attempted bombing of an Is- raeli beach bv Palestinian commandos in boats; the new go\ernment formed by Shamir and right-wing hardliners) seem to work against the possibility of negotiations in the near future, Harkabi remains hopeful. "There is some rationality in the human race," he says. "People learn the hard way; nations learn the hard wav. When they see that e\'ents are lead- ing to calamity, they recoil. Perhaps these recent events will point out that we must reach an agree- ment with the Palestinians. Otherwise, conditions in Israel will deteriorate, and e\entually the Pales- tinian hard-liners will be swept into power in the PLO. Then we will be headed for disaster. I am haunted by this fear." 13 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 37 From E^ Jijy'i9t With Loved ana Sketches and snippets from the travel diaries of Arnold Fellow Karen Lewis '87 38 / JUNE ♦ JULY 1990 J^rwe By Charlotte Bruce Harvey Reading the newspapers, says Karen Lewis '87, "you get an overview of what is going on in the Soviet Union, but no sense of what it's hke.

Those '. were the questions Lewis posed in the spring of her senior year, when she applied for and received one of the Arnold Fellowships, travel grants sponsored by Thomas J.

"To stay longer than a week or two, you will have to be a nanny," nay-sayers kept telling her; "you' 11 have to enroll in an academic pro- gram." Her dream of simply traveling for a year seemed increasingly futile. Then in the spring of 1988, things began to change. "1 owe everything to what happened between Reagan and Gorbachev," Lewis says. "I was simply sucked up in what happened between them." That August, she was able to chaperone BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY / 39 "It was not unusual to spend five, six, even twelve hours around the table, " Lewis recalls; "the food just comes and comes. People talk and laugh and make toasts. " And it was not all Russian cabbage and potatoes: in Dagestan, on the Caspian, she ate dolma (at right), grape leaves stuffed with rice and meat and rolled into bite- sized bundles like the Greek dolmades. "Dried fish is a real luxury there, " she says. "Even though they are on the water, it is hard for people to get fish. " Other favorites, she says, were the spicy Georgian dishes and Uzbek bread, shaped like a "golden frisbee with thick chewy edges. " a group of schoolchildren from her hometown of Seattle, who were off to spend ten days at a Soviet Pioneer Camp outside Seattle's sister city, Tashkent. While there, Lewis was able to extend her visa, sanctioning her to travel widely in the U.S.S.R. before returning to the United States in October 1989. Through the sister city pro- gram that brought her to Tashkent, Lewis made contacts with Soviet families across the country, many of whom welcomed her into their homes. ■ Among the most striking differences between Soviet and American culture, she says, is the emphasis placed on friendship. "In this country, when you're at a friend's house and 10 p.m. comes around, both host and guest get an itchy feeling. It's getting to be time to leave. But in the Soviet Union, you might stay for days. In part it is permitted by the economy, but 1 think also in part it is that Americans are just so busy and have so little free time. The Soviets think we' re very superficial in our social relations in that way, that we're willing to smile and be friendly with anybody: with our boss, with someone we hate.

He is the author of The American Promise (Transaction Books, 1982). A version of this article previously appeared in the mag- azine Tikkun. He is working on a new book on literature, poli- tics, and -oalues. Three years ago, I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Fight Prime- Time TV - Read a Good Book." The more I thought about it, the more sense the slogan made. Faced with politicians and celebrity news stars manipulating each other to entertain audiences, I de- cided to pull the plug on the tube. When processed truth becomes the norm, it is essential to turn to literature for a healthy perspective on life. Literature in general, and the novel in particular, has functioned historically as our most dependable source of human awareness and self- consciousness. Good literature can act as a conscience, a moral brake; it unmasks what ideology conceals. It serves as an indispensable corrective for false consciousness. Through the pleasure and power of stories, which are reinforced by identifying with characters, we learn values. When we read socially conscious novels, we learn about who we are as individuals and as a nation. They inform us, as no other medium does, about the state of our national soul and character - of the difference between what we say we are and how we actually behave. We need such exploration today more than ever, for the recent Iran-Contragate fiasco and Wall Street scandals show that America's moral compass is out of whack. Our public and personal values often seem as shallow and as ex- ploitable as advertising slogans, and we seem to have lost our ability to ^^^H recognize and agree on a set of positive and shared values. Without a doubt, the last decade will be remembered as one of moral decline marked by cyni- cism, deceit, greed, passivity, and a trend toward privatism. Now that we have entered the nineties, the following contemporary novels can help us confront the difficult problems we face. They can help us to transcend the moral vacuity of the eighties, since they deal with the real-world conflicts of or- dinary people who must struggle with freedom and justice, equality and opportu- nity, sanity and madness. It is absolutely essential that we examine the complexities and ambiguities of these aspects of the contemporary human predicament if we are to survive as a sane and civilized nation. I ■ The House of the Spirits by Isabel AUende (Bantam, 1986). Most Ameri- cans have only the shallowest noHon about what life is like in Latin America; this book can help deepen their knowl- edge. It's a tale of magic realism, chroni- cling a Chilean family's experience over three generations, an allegory for the history of an entire continent. ■ Tent of Miracles by Jorge Amado (Avon, 1978). A masterpiece by Brazil's foremost novelist, this tale of Pedro Archango - mestizo, laborer, and self-ed- ucated ethnologist - leads us through the lives of ordinary folks. Amado uses the richness of his humor and human- ism to offer profound insights into the plight of the underdog. ■ Norma jean the Termite Queen by Sheila Ballantyne (Penguin, 1983). A women's version of Catch-22, this book takes on family life in the suburbs. It's about Norma Jean, an imaginative housewife who wants to explore her artistic talent and achieve selfhood with- out ruining her marriage. ■ Continental Drift by Russell Banks (Ballantine, 1986). A frost-belt family moves to Florida in search of "economic opportunity," but instead finds a night- mare. The themes of good and evil, fate and freedom, and racism and poverty are explored through alternating chap- ters focusing on the two protagonists, a thirty-year-old furnace repairman from New Hampshire and a young, illiterate Haitian mother, a recent refugee. ■ The Memory of Old jack by Wendell Berry (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975). Set in Kentucky, this remarkable novel offers keen insights into character and changing American values through an inspiring portrait of the life of a ninety- two-year-old retired farmer. ■ The Secret of Santa Vittoha by Robert Crichton (Simon & Shuster, 1966). A ragtag bunch of villagers chal- lenge the Nazi machine in World War II Italy. Their decision to stand alone against a powerful occuping army is tes- timony to the dignity of the human race. ■ The Book of Daniel by E.L. Docto- row (Random House, 1971). A fictional account of the Rosenberg trial as re- membered by a grown-up son, Daniel, this book is more memorable than fifty history books on American foreign poli- cy. The Book of Daniel sensitively explores the Cold War, Red-baiting, and the effect of the atom bomb on the American psy- che. ■ Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich (Bantam, 1984). Winner of the 1984 Na- tional Book Critics Circle Award for fic- tion, this saga, set in North Dakota, fol- lows two Native American families through many generations, exploring the lives of those who must deal with the legacy of America's original sin. ■ July's People by Nadine Gordimer (Viking, 1981). In this intensely personal novel, Gordimer explores the system of South African apartheid by imagining what might happen to one family when the imposed roles of master and slave dissolve. ■ The Voices of Glory by Davis Grubb (Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1962). A por- trait of a small town - Glory, West Vir- ginia - and its response to a tuberculosis epidemic, this story of a dedicated pub- lic health nurse pitted against the self- interested medical establishment raises fundamental issues about the nature and practice of medicine in America, and will prompt the reader to reconsider the nation's response to AIDS. ■ The Dogs of March by Ernest He- bert (Penguin, 1980). What was it like to be unemployed or underemployed in the eighties? This novel tells the story of a blue-collar worker caught in a squeeze between a plant closing and a greedy speculator who wants his house. ■ The Cider House Rules by John Irv- ing (Bantam, 1986). Irving brings his sto- ry-telling gift to this tale of a genera- tional conflict of values between an old country doctor who performs abortions and his adopted son, who becomes a doctor but refuses to do the same. ■ Travelers by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (Harper & Row, 1973). This is a complex psychological study of Western students who search for spiritual fulfillment in contemporary India. The author exposes the folly of those who place their egos in the hands of gurus who might as well be selling cars. ■ Ironweed by William Kemiedy (Penguin, 1984). An idealistic, first-gen- eration Irishman, a baseball star, hits skid row during the Depression. Ken- nedy's novel, winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, explores the diceyness of fate and makes the reader think about today's homeless. ■ The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston (Knopf, 1976). An account of the Chinese- American experience as seen through the eyes of a young girl, this tale, set in a laundry in California, traces one family's struggle for freedom and opportunity. (Ballantine, 1983). Part of the author's New Mexico trilogy (along with Milagro Beanfield War), this novel provides in- sights into how "the game is being run" on ordinary Americans, as it shows the transformation of a sleepy village into a boom town. Forty years of "progress" boil down to greed, power, money, and cultural genocide. ■ Machine Dreams by Jayne Anne Phillips (Pocket, 1985). A chronicle of mid-American family life from the De- pression to Vietnam, this novel provides clear and compassionate insights on identity and change. It's about recent history, the passage of time, and how the Hampson family copes with the ironies of a rapidly changing America. ■ Kinds of Love by May Sarton (Nor- ton, 1980). This book is about truth, hon- esty, integrity, and all those other tradi- tional virtues that have become unfash- ionable. Three generations celebrate the American bicentennial in a small town ■ Rumors of Peace by Ella Leffland (Harper & Row, 1979). A young Califor- nia girl observes the rise of Nazism, the internment of Japanese-Americans, and the bombings of Pearl Harbor and Hi- roshima, providing a home-front view of the Second World War. ■ At Play in the Fields of the Lord by Peter Matthiessen (Random House, 1965). This novel, set in Latin America, reveals America's moral posturing for what it is. The author, a naturalist-ex- plorer, explodes stereotypes of four mid- western missionaries who are "helping" the natives. ■ Beloved by Toni Morrison (Knopf, 1988). Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, this book, set in post-Civil War Ohio, tells the story of an escaped slave who struggles to transcend the painful legacy of her past. This is an absolutely unfor- gettable novel. ■ The Magic journey by John Nichols in New Hampshire. ■ A Flag for Sunrise by Robert Stone (Knopf, 1981). How are your tax dollars being spent in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras? This novel will show you. It's a true-to-life depiction of a low- level, amoral CIA operative and his nemesis, a high-minded Catholic priest who is struggling for reform. ■ jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut (Dell, 1980). This is the story of Walter Star- buck, a Nixon adviser in the seventies; more specifically, it is about one man's shameless climb up the greasy pole to power, money, and domination as well as the perversion of ends and means. ■ Meridian by Alice Walker (Har- court Brace Jovanovich, 1976). A com- ing-of-age novel about a young black woman who is a college student in Georgia when the civil rights movement grips and transforms the South and the nation.

W. hy study science? Why read Shakespeare? Why watch TV or drink beer? I would hke to present the an- tique and possibly quixotic view that we should study science be- cause it can give us pleasure. Now the notion of pleasure asso- ciated with the physics or chem- istry we remember from high school is a hard sell. This, I would say, is one of our great current misfortunes. Not only our misfor- tune, but a great one. For, to my mind, science in addition to all of its practical uses (and I assure you, we are not rich enough to ignore those practical uses), when properly viewed, presents a vista of stunning pro- portions that along with music and literature ranks among the great achievements of our civi- lization - not only because of its intellectual grandeur, but because of the pleasure the awareness of its remarkable and stunning pro- portions can give. We note, with sad- ness, that this vista is permanently closed to most who live on this planet. In what must have been adolescent enthusiasm, I wrote a book to bring physics to non-scientists. I did so, if I may paraphrase, so that the non-techni- cal person could enter this cathedral "to touch the stones themselves." It turns t)ut not to be possible to enter the cathedral without a certain amount of technique. We cannot experience liter- ature without being able to read. We cannot experience Mozart without hav- ing listened. We live in an era of inl^t^tQ t| I DAVID REINBOLD The key to the cathedral u5!i By Leon Cooper ♦ cinema and immediate gratifica- tion. But some pleasures take longer. The problem is to capture in a reasonable amount of time the structure, meaning, and beauty of the subject in an honest way, without overwhelming the non- technical person with detail. Any one of us who has tried to design a course that does this knows how difficult it is. Yet we have at Brown many such courses, put together with great care and attention by scientists who are leaders in their fields, expressly designed to convey to the non-technical person some of the meaning and beauty of their subject. In my opinion, this is as essential a part of every civilized person's education as learning to read or write - sure- ly a vital part of the education of every Brown student. Why study science? Why do anything? One can live without ciance, song, or sunshine, but who would want to? ED Leon Cooper, professor ofpln/sics and Thomas j. Watson, Sr. Professor of Science, won the Nobel Prize in 1972 for research on super- conductivity. He is co-director of Brown's Center for Neural Science. Among other courses. Cooper teaches Phi/sics 1, "Introduc- tion to the Meaning and Structure of Phys- ics," for non-scientists. "By the time we're through," he says, "the students can under- stand some of the major concepts that un- derlie quantum theory and relativity."

You and your family will want to be there. The dates are October 26-28 at Stanford's Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake. It doesn't take a scholar or even much scholarship to be able to see (or not to see) to realize that the visibility and noxiousness in the Los Angeles Basin are worse each year. And Carl Sagan and the United Nations have rung the alarms about CO2 and the Greenhouse Effect. And just how many warm bodies can this planet feed and house? The exclamatory sentences could go on and on. Come into the classroom of the spectacular High Sierra to learn. Understand what the future holds. And see what can be done. That's what this seminar is about. That's the alarm bell we ring. Four faculty - each an expert - each an articulate and committed humanist and scientist - will lecture and discuss the state-of- the planet. Three of our faculty are MacArthur Fellows - a coveted acknowledgement of scholarship and concern for others. Brown Professors and senior faculty John Imbrie and Robert Kates, respectively a climatol- ogist and an expert on popula- tions join Sandra Archibald and William Durham - a food research specialist and environ- mentalist from Stanford. We will hear their lectures and engage them in discussion. With time for a hike or two for good measure. The setting is glorious! The fac- ulty are dynamic. The topic is urgent. The $395 price ($750/ double) includes door to door tuition, housing and three superb meals a day with deck views at the Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake. And we will arrange an optional shuttle ser- vice from San Francisco airport for those who fly in ... or who don't want to drive. It's a deal that could save your life - or more likely your grand- child's life. Home Sweet Home. For further information write or call: Wm J.
